A sign of mindless D.O.T. incompetence

 DOT sign gives name of wrong borough president. 

NY Post

The Bronx got burned by a Department of Transportation mistake that listed the name of a Queens official on a welcome sign, sparking a jokey inter-borough beef.

A newly installed “Welcome to the Bronx” sign on the Hutchinson River Parkway coming off the Whitestone Bridge wrongly listed Queens Borough President Donovan Richards instead of the Bronx’s BP Vanessa Gibson.

Gibson, who just took office this month, tweeted “we’re trying” at the DOT Wednesday.

“I know it’s been a rough couple of weeks in the Bronx, but y’all didn’t have to get rid of me already,” she said.

Richards then jumped on the error, using the opportunity to flash some Queens swagger over the Boogie Down.

“Being the BP of by far the best borough in NYC comes with an understanding that everyone always has #Queens on their mind. It’s natural,” Richards posted in response to a NY1 reporter who tweeted about the typo. “But the Bronx and @bronxbp @Vanessalgibson deserve their due as well so I’ll happily cede this space and work with DOT to ensure that happens.”

It shows you how worthless those positions are and how clueless the workers are in every part of the process. No one on that installation crew noticed? The sign approval process? These are 200k a year jobs paid for by the taxpayers and no one even knows who they are.

So good to know our Borough Presidents are emotionally at the level of middle-school children.

"Mindless" and " incompetence"
Typical key words and here is a good part why and it will be getting worse as the older workforce is driven out, retired, forced to quit.
Many of the new people working for the DOT city and cant read the shit they are handed. They need cartoon illustrations or call a supervisor. The A.C.T components in the reading tests have been dumbed down to something around 2rd grade level as most the tests. You also have this severe addiction problem with cellphones. Its near impossible to compel a worker or school kid to "put the dam phone away" without causing a complete tantrum and meltdown.

A citywide workforce of dunce dimbats from the top down.
Note how this new Mayor can hardly speak, cant pronounce words more then 5 letters or remember the crap he says on camera. This is likely because its scripted PR bullshit written by his press writer.
In office one month an hasn't done or attempted one useful single thing he promised to do immediately. Only lollypop lip service blerted out for the sheep suckers.
Same thing with the DOT and city workforce who now only allow official spokespeople to do the speaking.
Find me one single TV news journalist speaking to a worker actually doing the work on a road, sidewalk, sewer etc. You wont because the Mayors office of media controls all the journalism (and permits for such) in the 5 borough zone.
You wont !
That because in the in the 5 borough zone only official spokespeople spinners to do the speaking. This to cover up facts, mistakes and tell us lies.

I wouldn't trust Eric Adams, Donovan Richards and their B-list spokes-liars——even if their forked-and-slimy tongues were notarized (much less anyone else who purportedly was publicly elected throughout New York State government). The unelected Governor Kathy 'Hochul-Yokul' lies relentlessly. Likewise, her spokes-liar is paid to lie, Albany's invisible executive chamber is a behemoth of lies. In fact, the entire City Hall AND City Council is a pathological loop of never-ending mendacity.

This is how civilization is destroyed. Notice that the salaries (and defined pensions that don't exist anywhere else in this dysfunctional society of virtual collapse) of city and state government are even higher now than in private industry——that didn't happen by accident. Notice how the newest-oldest, foisted, chocolate administration of profoundly underqualified lackeys are in control of self- and UNJUST enrichment, notice how there is no social contract, and zero social trust citywide and statewide.

Notice that there are no telephone numbers to reach any publicly paid representatives, or even a switchboard to direct your calls that can't even be dialed because there is no public directory. Ironicaly, it's the invisible politicians themselves, and the corporate obedient press-titutes (all of whom see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) that is to blame for high crime, violence, lawlessness and vigilantism because all lawlessness, government tyranny and anarchy are all practiced from the top corridors of a criminal enterprise that has continually betrayed all pretense of public trust, ethics, integrity, ACCOUNTABILITY and transparency (I've said these words repeatedly, ad nauseam).

This is what the end of humanism looks like. Brace yourselves, peons: It's about to get exponentially worse in 2022, where full body Kevlar will be the newly mandated dress code whenever one dares to leave the marginal safety of their homes.
